So story is well developed with all the expansions included in this edition, graphic is excellent for Xbox360, I'm sure it might even be better if you have PC version due to higher computing power of your PC. I have both, and they are excellent RPGs. A must game to experience if you like RPG. Bethesda made this game, and Fallout 3. The Oblivion experience is long and in-depth, you will be immersed within the story and be at lost at the same time in the wonder of all the surrounding beauties of this game.
What RPG fan could resist. The guide just further convinced me this was not the game for me.
If you like action, a strong story line and some puzzles, I don't recommend this game. The game just seemed cold and it was way too complicated.
I like games with a story line that keeps you going and charaters you can relate to. Not that I don't appreciate a little choice, but this game was too open ended for me.
I've always considered myself an RPG type of gamer, but I haven't played video games in a while so when my husband bought a PS3, I looked for the ultimate RPG game and bought "Oblivion: Game of the Year Addition". After playing it for a few hours and not really getting into it, I even found the guide on eBay for way too much (because you can't buy it new anywhere I could see).
I suppose other people who are way more into gaming than me would call it sophisticated, but for the casual gamer, like me, it was boring and too complicated at the same time.
Because it is such a long game, you can stop playing and come back to it at a later date and not miss a beat. So far, this game seems to be incredibly similar to Morrowind, with a few changes here and there. This was an instant classic whose graphics are a bit outdated now (2006 game), but this doesn't affect gameplay in any way.A lot of fun to be had in this game with seemingly infinite hours of play time. Hours upon hours can be consumed by this game - in a single sitting, and over a lifetime. At this price, pick this one up if only to play between other games. This game is great for anyone who wants a game that they can always count on as being fun.
Easy to get wrapped up in the story and history of the world, not to mention becoming attached to your character. This particular edition of Oblivion comes with two expansions, and makes for incredible amounts of gameplay. Having played Morrowind on my PC prior to this game, I wasn't sure what exactly to expect but had a pretty good idea. It has an incredible story and the world is so vast that you always seem to find something new to do.
Let me start off by saying I am not a RPG fan or a console player.I like PC action and adventure games and mostly first person shooters.However Because of the lack of these games being produced that are any good plus all the newer PC games are loaded with DRM and playing restrictions.I decided to try this older game not really expecting much.How wrong I was,the game was amazing.But at the same time it was the Buggiest game I had ever played.I wont go in to all the details but eventually it Destroyed my PC and this was a middle of the road gamming rig.I then bought a top of the line Voodoo gamming machine.It came loaded with VISTA 64 bit.Well that won't play Oblivion.It's funny how XP OP will play VISTA games but Vista will not play XP games.Guess that showes which OS is the best.I realized after I bought this expensive PC that because of the VISTA OS there wasn't much to play on it.The ones that were being produced were console games adapted to play on a PC and very badly at that.I broke down and bought an X-BOX and A 27in Hd Tv to play it on.I tried The witcher revised edition and to be honest it SUCKED.I then got Oblivion for X-Box and it is truly great.Plays Great and even looks better than the PC version.I am about half way through this huge game without even one problem.The one problem I have is using the joy stick.When I played it on the PC I had great controll but using the joy stick added a whole new level of difficulty.On top of that I looked on my PC and found all these articales on how to level up.I took the advice and chose Britan as the race,Battlemage,and all the other stuff on major and minor skills.By level five I realized my character was so wimpy his specialty was getting killed.I also realized that because using the joy stick was so bad in a fight I needed some defense big time so I started over.This time I chose REDGUARD and went for pure power in every thing major and minor.Let the geeks use Magic I want to kick Butt.The first thing I needed was money to get the best armor I could in order to live long enough to kill before getting killed.I joined the fighters guild.Not to fight but so I could sell all there equiptment.I striped and sold every thing movable in every city.Then I did the same to the mages guild but I kept all the soul gems.After that I joined the Thieves guild and that is whear I discovered two things.The joy stick is easier when it comes to picking locks and the city guard don't show up when you are robbing the place as often as on the PC game.I striped the Imperial city then started on all the other towns and there Palaces.I did keep a Katana sword I found in one Palace and sold every thing.The first thing I bought was the AEGIS of the APOCALYPSE and HANDS OF THE ATRONACH.Then I bought the staff APOTHEOSIS.Then I went out of the Imperial city and killed an Imperial city guard with the staff and compleated my armor.Now I am broke again even though all the stors are filing for bankrupcy and all the Nobels are eating with ther HANDS.( I did kill Umbra but decided to waite till later when the Umbra sword was more powerfull)I now went to the Arena to try out all my new DUDS.Did pretty good,made a few bucks and robbed the $500 dollar chest.I finally killed Umbra at level 21 took part of her armor that was better than mine.That is when I made another earth shaking discovery.On the PC the Umbra sword was so powerfull that all it took was a couple of blows to kill.On X-Box outside of the soul trap it isnt that good.I found GOLDBRAND to be much better.I am now at level 25.I am the Master of the Fighters Guild and the Leader of the Mages Guild even though I still can not buy over the counter spells because I DON"T HAVE ENOUGH MAGICA.My armor is rated at 85 and is a little bit of everything.Still have the CURIASS and GUANTLETS I bought at the start of the Game.I added UMBRA GREAVES,Spell Breaker sheild,Oreyn Bearclaw Helmet and boots of the thrall.I feel my greatest accomplishment was defeating the GREY PRINCE in the ARENA head on without any Enchantments and he hardly made a dent in my armor.I have came a long way and there is still a lot of game to play.NOW IF I COULD JUST LEARN HOW TO SPELL.I DON'T MEAN CAST THEM.I MEAN SPELL CORECTLY.Well I just became the GREY FOX.When I entered the guards chamber I entered with no shoes and in sneak but with the slightest movement the guards were alerted and killed me.I tried this 3 times with the same results.OK NO MORE Mr.NICE GUY I put back on my boots went in and when thy attacked I Killed them all.Then went in the Dinning Hall and Killed the ones in it.I then plundered all the chests.After I got the SCROLL I proceded to kill every body and left.I have decided MY ARMOUR IS UNBEATABLE.
Not so bad except that the player character is to most clumsy person in the universe and brushes against everything, sometimes misplacing important stuff in the process.How about NPCs that randomly die from who-knows-what. pretty disturbing. If you want your super-nifty downloadable content knife to be useful at the end of the game you have to get it at the end of the game. put a body in a doorway and its like the corpse gets super-post-mortum-stretch-power. Horrible when monsters become too powerful to be killed with your supposedly super-knife or protected from by your supposedly legendary armor.If you love obsessive leveling in order to even start the game at a level when some loot is as good as it gets (level 25 or 30) then Oblivion is for you.I shut all 64 oblivion gates in this game, got the best loot I could, completed every sidequest, but Morrowind is the game I'm still playing today. loot on tables and shelves can be knocked over.
Almost all the treasure in the game stays at the same stats as the beginning of the game. I have a lot of gripes with this game, here it goes;The physics engine, while cool, is broken. Sometimes when you kill something is flops and twitches like a person with head-trauma, its. If they are part of a quest, too bad, no quest completion.But the last nail in the coffin is leveled loot.
